Abstract

A method for a multi-channel search includes receiving a specific post selection submitted in a first channel and query text associated with the specific post in the first channel, where the query text includes one or more words for performing a query evaluation. The method receives a query location which includes a plurality of channels for performing the query evaluation. Responsive to extracting one or more ranking factors from the specific post selection, the method performs the query evaluation at the query location to collect a plurality of potential matching posts based on the one or more ranking factors. The method reorders the plurality of potential matches according to a plurality of determined scores for the plurality of potential matches. The method displays two-dimensional search results based on a timeline and channel relevancy, where the plurality of channels is ordered according to channel relevancy compared to the first channel.

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

responsive to receiving a specific post selection submitted in a first channel, receiving, by one or more processors, query text associated with the specific post in the first channel, wherein the query text includes one or more words for performing a query evaluation;
receiving, by one or more processors, a query location, wherein the query location includes a plurality of channels for performing the query evaluation;
responsive to extracting one or more ranking factors from the specific post selection, performing, by one or more processors, the query evaluation at the query location to collect a plurality of potential matching posts based on the one or more ranking factors;
reordering, by one or more processors, the plurality of potential matches according to a plurality of determined scores for the plurality of potential matches, wherein each determined score from the plurality of determined scores is based on the one or more ranking factors;
and
displaying, by one or more processors, two-dimensional search results based on a timeline and channel relevancy, wherein each of the plurality of channels is ordered according to channel relevancy compared to the first channel.

3 more elements

A computer program product comprising:

one or more computer readable storage media and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more storage media, the program instructions comprising:
program instructions to, responsive to receiving a specific post selection submitted in a first channel, receive query text associated with the specific post in the first channel, wherein the query text includes one or more words for performing a query evaluation;
program instructions to receive a query location, wherein the query location includes a plurality of channels for performing the query evaluation;
program instructions to, responsive to extracting one or more ranking factors from the specific post selection, perform the query evaluation at the query location to collect a plurality of potential matching posts based on the one or more ranking factors;
program instructions to reorder the plurality of potential matches according to a plurality of determined scores for the plurality of potential matches, wherein each determined score from the plurality of determined scores is based on the one or more ranking factors;
and
program instructions to display two-dimensional search results based on a timeline and channel relevancy, wherein each of the plurality of channels is ordered according to channel relevancy compared to the first channel.

4 more elements

A computer system comprising:

one or more computer processors;
one or more computer readable storage media;
and
program instructions stored on the computer readable storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more computer processors, the program instructions comprising:
program instructions to, responsive to receiving a specific post selection submitted in a first channel, receive query text associated with the specific post in the first channel, wherein the query text includes one or more words for performing a query evaluation;
program instructions to receive a query location, wherein the query location includes a plurality of channels for performing the query evaluation;
program instructions to, responsive to extracting one or more ranking factors from the specific post selection, perform the query evaluation at the query location to collect a plurality of potential matching posts based on the one or more ranking factors;
program instructions to reorder the plurality of potential matches according to a plurality of determined scores for the plurality of potential matches, wherein each determined score from the plurality of determined scores is based on the one or more ranking factors;
and
program instructions to display two-dimensional search results based on a timeline and channel relevancy, wherein each of the plurality of channels is ordered according to channel relevancy compared to the first channel.
